THE VOYAGEThe
VOYAGE
site is underway, and still has a way to go, much like the actual 1985
voyage of GODSPEED. I have included a few pictures of some of our
ship-board activities. Please join us again to see
how
we've progressed.

Starting at the top left and traveling
clockwise---1) mid-Atlantic trolling 2) washing up some dishes3) shadow againest the topsail 4) playing
checkers 5) oiling a main-sheet block 6) setting the fenders out

The
weather
for the most part, was ideal. We did have storms- but the
majority
of the time it sunny and with a fair breeze. That still didn't
make
Godspeed go any faster though, in fact a nick-name she acquired was
"Escargot
Express". There were some absolutely incredible sunrises and
sunsets.
Each one was different. The photos that follow are just a taste
of
what we saw on the deck or aloft from Godspeed. One
phenomenon
that would occur at sunset, was the "Green Flash". It only works
with a clear horizon and it is not limited to mid ocean. In fact
some of us observed it when we arrived in Puerto Rico and looked to the
west from the beach.

I sent photos of Godspeed to
all the Amateur Radio Operators who sent messages from family and friends back
home. This one belongs to my father, Bob Tanner- W4RZB.
